1Opinion of the Court
SHEPHERD, Circuit Judge.
Justin Shekleton brought an action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Ryan Eichenberger, individually and in his capacity as a Chickasaw County, Iowa Sheriffs Department Deputy alleging Deputy Eichenberger violated Shekleton’s Fourth Amendment right to be free from excessive force by unnecessarily tasering Shekleton. Deputy Eichenberger appeals the district court’s 1 denial of his motion for summary judgment as to the section 1983 individual capacity claim, asserting that Shekleton’s claim is barred by the doctrine of qualified immunity. 2 We affirm.
